Effective respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines have been developed and licensed for elderly adults and pregnant women but not yet for infants and young children. The RSV immune state of the young child, i.e., previously RSV infected or not, is
Spatial scan statistics are commonly used to detect clustering. We present a Bayesian spatial scan statistic for multinomial data. After validating our method with a simulation study, we use it to detect clusters of SARS-CoV-2 infection/immunity in
CONCLUSION: This study marks a pioneering endeavor that sparks a crucial dialogue regarding peer-reviewed scientific literature during a period of immense need for accurate information. The prevalence of literature reviews can be attributed to the
COVID-19 has brought with it a global crisis, but it also highlighted many important take-home messages to educators that are worth considering and implementing for better future medical education. We highlight 5 of these messages; (1) redefining of
